Fig. 1From: Spatial point-pattern analysis as a powerful tool in identifying pattern-process relationships in plant ecology: an updated reviewConversion of field data (a) to a list of points coordinates (b) then to a point pattern (c) (Modified from Goreaud 2000). In the sampled area, each plant is represented by its Cartesian coordinates (x, y) which serve as a basis to represent stand spatial structureBack to article page
